	Michael Corleone (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		At the beginning of The Godfather, he is uninvolved in the Mafia and seems headed for a successful career in politics or another “legitimate” field.
		He joins the family business and succeeds his father as head of the Corleone family.
		Michael seems incapable of relaxing enough to smile, and his tense relationship with his wife, Kay, whom he divorces, is a constant source of anguish.

	Vinnie Mancini-Corleone at AllExperts
		Vincent was the illegitimate son of Sonny Corleone and Lucy Mancini, born in 1948 (this plotline seems exclusive to the movie, as it directly contradicts book's assurances that Lucy Mancini had not gotten pregnant by Sonny).
		He endeared himself to his uncle, Michael Corleone, in 1979 by trying to protect him from rival Mafia families, and the aging Don took the hot-headed, irrational, violent young man under his wing to try to redeem him, as a way to redeem his own bloody past.
		The character of Vincent Corleone was said by Coppola to, roughly speaking, amalgamate the males of the Corleone Family.

	Reel.com: The Godfather, Part III: Twilight of the Corleones
		Michael's sister, Connie (Talia Shire), who at the end of The Godfather, Part II had rejoined Michael's household, is now the matriarch of the family.
		Michael's children are grown and fulfilling Vito's promise from The Godfather, "I thought that when it was your time, you would be the one to hold the strings," the promise Vito originally meant for Michael.

	Michael Corleone (In-Depth Analysis) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)

		While John's death is different from Corleone's in that Corleone did not commit suicide, they are similar due to the fact that they serve as an escape for each of them.
		John the Savage and Michael Corleone are no different; the actions that make their roles so similar are those that ultimately lead to their demise.

		Michael is positioned in the story between two characters who could come from "King Lear" - his daughter, Mary (Sofia Coppola), whom he loves and wants to give his kingdom to, and Sonny's son, Vincent (Andy Garcia), who sees the death of his enemies as the answer to every question.
		Michael is torn between the futures represented by the two characters, between Mary, quiet and naive, and the hot-blooded Vincent.
		She is the only person who can tell Michael what she really thinks, and in one of those dark, gloomy rooms, she lets him know that it doesn't matter what grand order he is invested in by the church, he is at heart still a gangster.

	Michael Corleone
		Michael is the youngest son of Don Vito Corleone (played by Marlon Brando in The Godfather and by Robert De Niro in The Godfather Part II.) Michael becomes the new Godfather of the Corleone crime family towards the end of Part I, when his father passes away.
		Born in 1920, Michael initially wanted nothing to do with the Corleone "family business," enlisting in World War II and returning a decorated war hero, having been awarded the Silver Star.
		Nevertheless, Michael appointed Vinnie as his successor in 1980; weary of the bloody, lonely life of a Don, he retired and made his nephew the new Don Corleone (but only after Vinnie agreed to break off the relationship with Mary.) That same night, however, Mary was killed in an assassination attempt meant for Michael.

		The Corleone family situation constitutes a setting where the family is stressed over the individual, evident by the fact that all of the "children" live at home even though they are grown.
		Michael is cherished by his father, as shown by the Dons refusal to take a photo without "Mikey" present, and by his anger when Mikey involves himself in the family business.

		For example, Wine-gardner posits that before Michael went to fight in World War II, he volunteered with the New Deal's Civilian Conservation Corps, which not only fills in a blank of Michael's biography but also kindles a happy, hopeful section in which the future murderer and kingpin cheerfully plants trees and teaches men to read.
		Sonny Corleone's daughter Francesca gets to college and momentarily considers changing her name to the white-bread ''Fran Collins.'' And Fredo becomes the host of a TV program called ''The Fred Corleone Show'' for which Winegardner has constructed amusing transcripts.
		Winegardner's most enjoyable subplot has to do with Michael's wife, Kay, and his adopted brother Tom Hagen's wife, Theresa; they are gaga devotees of Mark Rothko and other experimental modernist painters.
